Import Playout Log
The Import Playout Log window allows you to import logs from an external scheduler. The import feature supports the PlayIt Playout Log Format (.pipl), M3U Playlist, and Scott Studios (SS32) format (deprecated).
The Scott Studios (SS32) format is deprecated and will be removed in a future update. Please contact support if you wish to learn more about this.
When a file is imported, the entire log for the selected date range will be cleared and replaced with the imported file. Click Import to import the file, then review the updated log in the Edit Playout Log window before applying the changes. If there are any errors processing the imported log file, you will be prompted to view these when the import process has completed.

Base Audio Folder
